Review of Okemo mountain resort

We have had an absolutely wonderful visit to Okemo...

We have had an absolutely wonderful visit to Okemo. We have had a lovely 1 bedroom unit in the Jackson Gore main building. It is clean and comfortable.

We started the morning wandering around a bit before the mountain coaster opened. Katie greeted us and answered questions. Jack at the Mountain coaster was so knowledgeable and helpful. Kyle scanning our tickets was so lovely to talk with. The ladies helping load us in the cars were super friendly as well. We loved the coaster so much that after we did our 3 ride, we bought 3 more. Such a fun activity for the whole family.
We took the kids over to the Adventure Challenge Course. It is a very nice ropes course. Extremely well run by Liz and crew, I felt the kids were safe. They required guests to start at level 1and work up to level 3. This is a very wise idea, as participants get a feel for the course and get comfortable, with the degree of difficulty and the length of the zip line at the end of the course increasing at each level. We needed help from Chris and Marissa on two separate occasions. They were kind, calm, and empowered our kids to get back up on the course and keep going after their falls. Thanks to all of the safety in place, they were in no danger of actually being hurt when they fell.

We then went over to the scenic chair lift. It was a beautiful, clear day and the views were stunning! We ate lunch at the Cafe at the summit. It was a bit expensive, but it was tasty. The ride down provided some gorgeous views and the stream was so calming and peaceful.

We ended our day getting ski gear for the kids. The sale prices could not be beat! The ladies were very helpful finding the right sizes and working with the kids, who were all sugared up after having maple Creemies.

During a time when many businesses are short staffed, and good service is hard to come by, we were so impressed with Okemo. All we met were kind, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to talk. They provided great service and have made Okemo a place we will most likely visit again despite how far away it is from our home in North Carolina.
